i want either a super chip or diablo chip. which one is better and are they worth it. will i feel a noticable different here are my parts list i done so far. trickflow intake,cold air induction, 70 mm throttle body and spacer, 3:73 gear, upper/lower control arms, full exhaust, blaster coil,9mm plug wires, msd coil and an msd 6al box that wont run on my car yet haven't figure that out yet. i dont want to toss money away i will do fuel pump, injectors and mass air as soon as i get more money and heads.
 
The mass market chips won't do anything you can't do by advancing the timing. Unless you have a H/C/I combo, pressurized induction or NO2, a custom chip won't do much either.

If you did have Heads/Intake/Cam, a custom chip with Speed Density would probably help smooth the engine out.
 
Chips are great for most cars but Fox's have such a simple computer that I feel that the only real benefit of chip is better drivability. As stated above, a car with no blower and relatively small injectors can get what it needs from manual adjustments.
